This week was quite an extraordinary week. We had a late start on Tuesday and an early dismissal on Wednesday, but we were still able to accomplish a lot. On Monday, we got a preview of this year's musical, Cinderella. It was a fun experience. We got to see behind-the-scenes and we learned about how a musical is put together. Even though there were few props and scenery, the actors were able to make the scenes come alive through their acting and singing. For homework this week, our class was assigned to read chapters one through three of the book Of Mice and Men and complete the discussion questions.
On Wednesday, Ms. Nickow put us into groups and each group was given a different paragraph to discuss. Afterwards, each group presented their answers and thoughts to the questions about their paragraph. The activity made us use higher-level thinking because the questions were not simple. It also helped us understand the book better.
The discussion problems assigned for homework were finally put to use this Friday. We had a class discussion and many people contributed their own thoughts. It truly helps to discuss a book with other people because then you can hear other opinions and viewpoints about it. Overall, our class was very productive this week and we made a lot of progress in the book Of Mice and Men.
